Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To analyze the ability of various quantitative, MRI-based measures spine-specific sarcopenia to predict patient-reported outcomes following lumbar fusion surgery. Summary Background Data: Sarcopenia is an established risk factor for poor and complications in spine However, a lack consensus exists on how optimally quantify paraspinal outcome prediction. Furthermore, few studies have investigated Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Information...
Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for multiple pathologies. The purpose of our study was compare the relative value units (RVUs) per minute surgical time primary and revision TSA.The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database queried identify patients that underwent TSA, one-component two-component TSA between January 1, 2015 December 31, 2017 using current procedure terminology codes. RVUs were divided...
The management of degenerative spine pathology continues to be a significant source costs the US healthcare system. Besides surgery, utilization resources after surgery drives costs. responsibility managing is gradually shifting patients and providers. Patient-centered predictors elective may identify targets for cost reduction value creation. Therefore, our study aims quantify patterns risk factors that predict high surgery.A total 623 who underwent at tertiary academic medical center by...
Introduction Studies have shown that the use of total shoulder arthroplasty is increasing every year in United Stated at a rate higher than hip or knee arthroplasty. As population States continues to age, it becoming more important for surgeons understand true impact age on outcomes and complications following procedures such The purpose this study was determine if octogenarians poorer after compared younger, matched control group. Methods Data obtained through American College Surgeons...
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to describe the volar plate-suture fixation technique for augmented repair rim fractures distal radius and report clinical outcomes radiographic findings. Materials Methods Twenty-one patients treated with were retrospectively reviewed. Outcomes interest included pain, joint motion, grip strength, surgical complications, additional surgeries, parameters. Results Final follow-up office visits from surgery averaged 30.8 weeks (range 6–175...
The objective of this study was to determine if physicians are compensated equally for the treatment femoral neck fractures based on fixation method in a propensity score matched cohort patients. American College Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (ACS NSQIP) database queried patients undergoing open reduction internal (ORIF), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and total hip arthroplasty (THA) fractures. Exact matching used account differences patient-specific variables underlying...
